a couple weeks ago driving from Vermont back to NYC I was listening to an episode of Theme Time Radio, Bob Dylanâs 2000s radio show, and he introduced a song by Lou Reed Iâd never heard before. So itâs like Bob himself showed me this. Itâs a cover of an old American standard but Lou of course makes it his own.
hbd to the greatest

A STONE COLD NEW YORK CITY CLASSIC.
LOU REED IS GOD BUT THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BETTER THAN âWALK ON THE WILD SIDEâ.
ITâS MADE WITH THE SAME INGREDIENTS.
THAT SWEET-TOOTHED DOO WOP LILT, THAT JUNKED OUT SWAGGER, THOSE CHURCHY BACKING VOCALS, THAT BIG APPLE SAXOPHONEâŚ
THIS SONG IS SO NEW YORK ITâS LIKE LICKING THE ENTIRETY OF THE PAVEMENT THAT MAKES UP 14TH STREET AND THEN USING ABEL FERRARAâS TOOTHBRUSH TO CLEAN YOUR MOUTH BEFORE SNIPING DOWN A PLAIN SLICE.
AND THOSE LYRICS. MY GOD.
REMEMBER THAT ONE MOMENT WHEN YOU SAW THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE FOR THE FIRST AND LAST TIME ON A SUBTERRANEAN SUBWAY PLATFORM SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 14th AND 59th? YOU BLINKED AND THEY LEFT.
YOU WENT BACK TO CONSUMING 500,000 IMAGES AND 2000 MG OF CAFFEINE PER DAY, WONDERING WHY YOU FEEL ANXIOUS AND SELF DIAGNOSING ADHD. BUT THE MEMORY REMAINS.
IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN.
BUT YOU WONâT DO ANYTHING WILL YOU?
